Wish I could get my front end torn apart on someone else's dime :\ My personal checklist when I have to go out-of-pocket is:

Header wrap
Turbo blankets
Bolt/hose inspection
Leak check
EGT Sensors
O2 sensors
Trans pan/filter/fluids (nipped uptake tube)
Brake ducts
Wagner IC's/hoses/shrouds (and removal of fog lamps)
Thorough degreasing and rust inhibitant
Splash Guard
Heat/noise insulation (boom-mat, possibly some rhinoliner)
Pre-Cat gutting
Alternator Diode preventative replacement
Considering a Meziere electric water pump
Heater core de-gunk and fins straightened
Full coolant flush and radiator pressure treatment


etc...
